Arrascaeta shows maturity in response to Uruguay criticism | OneFootball

Arrascaeta had been facing criticism for his performances with the Uruguayan National Team

On a night of victory for the Uruguayan National Team with a 3-0 win over Peru in the Qualifiers, Arrascaeta was one of the highlights of the team led by Marcelo Bielsa. Scorer of a stunning goal and an important piece in the construction of offensive plays, the Flamengo player shone again in the sky-blue jersey. After the game, he showed maturity by commenting on the criticism he had been receiving, addressing the issue naturally.

— I think criticism is part of everything, of football, and over time you gain experience and try to assimilate it in the best possible way. You work, train, and give your best at the club to reach the national team -, he said.

It is worth noting that in recent call-ups, Arrascaeta was the target of criticism from fans of the national team. This is because, in the view of some, the player did not deliver the same level of football that he exhibits at Flamengo. After the match, the midfielder responded with maturity, acknowledging the difference between the moments experienced in the national team and the club.

“The circumstances are different (the early years and the present moment), but today, with the national team, I feel good, happy, and helping my teammates,” he concluded in a post-game interview on Thursday (04).
